I have never seen a sewing machine this old. I never knew they had regular machines that were hand cranked either. Sewing machines have come a very long way!!
It’s an antique child’s sewing machine. And yes, it’s hand crank. Still works!
What a beautiful thing!
I still have a little red hand crank sewing machine that I received as a child, too. Amazing little machines! So simplistic compared to today’s computerized full size models!
